Utilities: Administration: Administrators: Permission Groups: Permission Rules

Permission groups enable administrators to create rules which either allow or deny users access to particular URLs within Aurea List Manager.

If a page in Aurea List Manager contains a word or location which has been set to "deny" access, the user is not able to access that particular URL. There are several default groups included, which can be edited. New groups can be created to customize the accessibility you would like to give your users. These rules work like firewall rules; if no permission rule matches, the default is to accept the user and allow access. If users are denied, a message informing them that they do not have permission to access that particular page is displayed.

There is no limit to the number of rules which can be set for any group. The permission is either set to allow or deny access to a particular URL or to all URLs with a specific word, and the order in which ListManager reads these permission levels can be determined by moving the individual rules up or down in the hierarchy. These rules are then applied to list, site, or server administrators as they are created.

Finding Permission Rules

Twenty permission rules are displayed at one time. To view more, click Show more. Repeatedly clicking Show more shows greater numbers of rules at a time. The permission rules are listed in order, from lowest to highest. This table cannot be sorted, since the order in which they appear is relevant to their functionality.

Viewing Or Editing An Existing Permission Rule

To view a permission rule, click on the group name. This takes you to the Utilities: Administration: Administrators: Permission Groups: Edit Permission Rule page, where the rule can be edited.

Copying Permission Groups

Click Copy next to the permission rule you'd like to copy. Aurea List Manager shows you the old description, and asks you for the new description. The default copy name is the original permission rule name with "-copy"added to the end. The permission rule created has all of the settings of the old rule.

Deleting Permission Rules

Click Delete next to the permission rule you'd like to delete. Aurea List Manager asks you if you are sure before deleting the permission rule.

Moving Rule Hierarchy Up

Click "up" next to the rule you want to shift one level up. This moves it one level up and changes the order number.

For example, if you have two rules, with order 1 and 2, and you click "up" next to rule 2, it reverses the order:

   Rule A    Order 1

   Rule B    Order 2 (move up)

   becomes:

   Rule B    Order 1

   Rule A    Order 2

Moving Rule Hierarchy Down

Click "down" next to the rule you want to shift one level down. This moves it down onelevel and changes the order number. For example, if you have two rules, with order 1 and 2, and you click "down" next to rule 1, it reverses the order:

   Rule A    Order 1 (move down)

   Rule B    Order 2

   becomes:

   Rule B    Order 1

   Rule A    Order 2

Creating a New Permission Rule

Click the add rule button. You are taken to the Utilities: Administration: Administrators: Permission Groups: Permission Rules: Add Permission Rule page. Here, a new rule and the corresponding order can be created for this permission group.
